Welcome to the Theoi Project, a site exploring Greek mythology and the gods in classical literature and art. The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive, free reference guide to the gods (theoi), spirits (daimones), fabulous creatures (theres) and heroes of ancient Greek mythology and religion.

Greek Gods & Goddesses was created in 2010 to provide an informative, easy to follow, and attractive online resource for information on the Olympian gods in Greek mythology. While there are excellent resources on the internet offering one or two of these qualities, it is our opinion that, up till now, none have provided all three.
Furthermore, it is these qualities that make GGG a site accessible to a wide demographic. From K-12 students to mythology enthusiasts, GGG offers anyone interested in the Olympian gods an opportunity to enjoy learning about them. Furthermore, the future for GGG will include the expansion to not only the Olympian gods, but all deities from Greek mythology. Check back often for these updates!
